Aboriginal Community-Controlled organisations

The Hon. K.J. MAHER (Leader of the Opposition) (14:52): A further supplementary arising from the original answer: I think the minister outlined two Aboriginal organisations that had been consulted; is she aware of any other Aboriginal organisations, besides the two she mentioned, that formed part of these 600 consultations?

The Hon. J.M.A. LENSINK (Minister for Human Services) (14:52): If I could just clarify, it was 600 individuals. These were not just Aboriginal people but the broad sector. It included all the organisations people would be familiar with, such as Anglicare and Uniting Care and all those organisations that are directly involved in these support services. There were certainly the organisations involved in the child protection space, the family support space, and there were people with lived experience.

The person who conducted the consultations was Dana Shen, who is well known to many people, and I think that was a very important part of the process. I could potentially share a list with the honourable member of all the organisations that were consulted, but it is quite an extensive list of people who work directly at the coalface in that sector.
